An entertaining look at today's winningest NASCAR driver When Jeff Gordon burst onto the NASCAR scene in the early 1990s, he broke the stereotypical mold for a stock car racing champion. He was young, handsome, articulate, media-savvy and from California, not from "down South." He has withstood incredible resistance and tough on-track competition to become a four-time champion at NASCAR's highest level. A mix of fresh writing and articles drawn from leading racing magazines Stock Car Racing and Circle Track create a thorough profile of Gordon as a racer and as an individual. This book covers his approach to driving, his team and cars, and his business savvy as a leading endorser and now a team owner.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Glen Grissom and Larry Cothren are both longtime editors at Stock Car Racing and Circle Track magazines. They know the nitty-gritty of NASCAR and have watched Gordon skyrocket his way to four cup championships. They have followed Gordon long enough to see every step of his rise and know the depth of his drive. The photographs are largely coming from the stockpile of Nigel Kinrade, whose work brings readers into the pits, the garage, and the car with superstar Jeff Gordon.
